Chapter 14 Lu Jiuyuan's Maintenance
Lin's face turned pale in an instant, startled and angry, but looking at Lu Jiuyuan's face soaked in chill, he dared not speak out.

For a moment, she was livid with anger.

The others were also silent, and the entire hall was silent.

Lu Jiuyuan's gaze swept over everyone in the hall one by one, and his voice was low and cold, "Tao Yao is the wife that I, Lu Jiuyuan, is marrying. Anyone of you who dares to accuse and insult her will have trouble with Lu Jiuyuan!"

All the people caught by his gaze lowered their heads unconsciously.

Forget about the nephews, but the brothers and sisters-in-law who were of the same generation as Lu Jiuyuan didn't dare to meet his gaze, obviously according to their seniority, Lu Jiuyuan was younger than them.

Tao Yao looked at Lu Jiuyuan unexpectedly.

She never expected that this man would defend her and speak for her...

And he looks so domineering and majestic!
Tao Yao adored her.

but……

Why did she hear something wrong with what he had warned them about?
She can be regarded as the one he is marrying, after all, none of the procedures that should be involved in the wedding have been completed.

But doesn't he know that she married him to avoid the Fifth Prince?Is it just a stopgap measure for the two to get married?
Doesn't he feel guilty when he said these words in public so formally?

Just as she was about to say something, the man's hand suddenly pressed lightly on her shoulder, and he took it back very quickly.

Tao Yao blinked and looked at him puzzled.

Lu Jiuyuan looked down at her and said, "Next time someone dares to bully you, you don't have to be polite to them. If you can't solve it yourself, just tell me."

Tao Yao: "..."

"Understood?" The man's deep voice sounded above his head.

Tao Yao came back to her senses, glanced at him, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yeah."

Lu Jiuyuan's face turned pale.

After this incident, everyone dared not neglect Tao Yao even more.

Even, looking at her eyes, there was a faint flattery.

Tao Yao lamented that he was indeed a man with bloody legends. With a single word, everyone was as quiet as a chicken. Even Lin, who was bitter and mean, did not dare to say a word.

Although the old lady gave birth to nine sons, several of them died young, so there are only five children including Lu Jiuyuan and a married daughter who are still in front of her.

But even so, it took a lot of time after this wave of meetings, and Tao Yao barely remembered him, but at the same time, she also received a lot of gifts.

Even the juniors gave her a meeting gift.

For a while, Tao Yao accepted the gift, but was soft-hearted.

Especially Lu Sanye from the third bedroom was the most generous and directly gave Tao Yao a shop.

It is said that Lu Sanye is the only businessman in the Lu family, and he is very business minded. When he was young, his business flourished and he accumulated a wealth of family assets. Now, his business has spread all over the world.

After identifying the people, the people in each room dispersed one after another, while Tao Yao and Lu Jiuyuan stayed and had a meal with Mrs. Lu.

After the meal, the two left Fu Shou Tang.

Tao Yao rubbed her bulging belly and followed behind Lu Jiuyuan.

The old lady was so enthusiastic, she kept picking up vegetables for her, and if she was not careful, she would be overwhelmed.

Tao Yao felt emotional. At this moment, Lu Jiuyuan, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and said, "I still have some things to deal with. You go back first."

Tao Yao quickly put down her hand and said obediently, "Okay, Uncle Jiu."

Lu Jiuyuan's gaze paused on her stomach, and a faint smile flashed across his deep black eyes.

"Uncle Jiu, go slowly." Tao Yao blinked her eyes.

The man said "hmm" and left.

As soon as Lu Jiuyuan left, Tao Yao happily returned to Tingfangyuan, the courtyard where she lived.

The new house where she slept last night was the Star Picking Hall where Lu Jiuyuan lived.

After the wedding night, she can go back to the yard where she lives.

Tingfangyuan is very close to Zhaixingtang, just a few steps away.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she was amazed by the environment inside.

Different from the majesty and solemnity of Zhaixing Hall, the layout of Tingfangyuan is very delicate and ingenious.

Probably to cater to her preferences, flowers and plants are planted everywhere in the yard, and swings are arranged under the trees. Next to it, there is a small pool with koi carp happily playing.

Tao Yao fell in love with this courtyard immediately.

She walked around the yard, touched here, looked there, her love was beyond words.

Finally, she sat down on the swing.

Seeing this, Dong'er who was following her stepped forward and gently pushed her up, and asked with a smile, "Madam like this yard?"

"I like it, I like it very much." Tao Yao nodded, not stingy at all, letting others know her joy.

"As long as Madam likes it." Dong'er nodded, "This yard was specially arranged by Madam Ninth, she said Madam Ninth is a little girl, she must like flowers, grass and fish, and many flowers here are temporarily transplanted from other places of it."

Tao Yao was very happy when she heard the words, and said sincerely: "The old lady has a heart."

Earlier she was worried that the old lady was not easy to get along with, but after seeing the old lady today, she changed her mind.

The old lady is a very kind and kind old man who treats the younger generation kindly.

Others, so far, are not bad.

It's the Lin family...

Thinking of Lin's cold eyes looking at her before leaving Fushoutang, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Lin's really know how to beat back.

Obviously it was his son who wanted to climb another branch and proposed to withdraw the engagement. Now seeing that she married Lu Jiuyuan, he felt unbalanced again.

What a problem!

She cursed in her heart and went into the house.

Xi'er brought her a cup of tea.

After she took a sip, she placed the gifts she had just received on the table.

Even the jade bracelet given by the old lady was pulled down by her and placed on the table.

The gifts received included jade bracelets, gold hairpins, gold bracelets, pearl necklaces, earrings, calligraphy and paintings, jade wares, and various small ornaments.

What she likes the most is the shop given by Mr. Lu.

She has learned that this shop is located in the most prosperous area of ​​central Beijing, and it is a silk and satin shop with a good business.

This wave is really bloody.

She was elated.

But thinking of one thing, she became worried again.

On the day she leaves Lu's house, do I have to return these things?

Thinking of this level, she was not so happy again.

……

Lu Jiuyuan didn't come over for dinner at night, but Le Yang, the eldest maid of Zhaixingtang, came.

"Ma'am, the Duke still has something to do. We won't be here at night. You can check the arrangements yourself."

Tao Yao sized her up.

Although Le Yang is a servant girl, she has a dignified and quiet demeanor, quite like a maidservant, and she is beautiful and good-looking, but she should be quite old, at least about 20 years old.

"Okay, I see." Tao Yao nodded slowly.

Le Yang glanced at her, curtseyed, "Your servant will leave."

As soon as she left, Tao Yao immediately called Dong'er and asked her to learn about the origin of Le Yang.

Sure enough, as Tao Yao guessed, Le Yang was not an ordinary maid, but the daughter of Lu Jiuyuan's former subordinate...
